tfshift
Description
Allows a frame to be shifted/moved horizontally and vertically. This works in a similar way to the frame tie feature (see tftie) except that the frame is shifted with relation to itself, not to another frame or position.
Syntax
tfshift left horizontal:n left vertical:n right horizontal:n right vertical:n odd horizontal:n odd vertical:n even horizontal:n even vertical:n
tfshift
[no parameter]
Invoke the Frame Shift dialog box.
left horizontal
The amount by which the frame should be shifted horizontally to the left
left vertical
The amount by which the frame should be shifted vertically to the left
right horizontal
The amount by which the frame should be shifted horizontally to the right
right vertical
The amount by which the frame should be shifted vertically to the right
odd horizontal
The amount by which the frames on odd pages should be shifted horizontally
odd vertical
The amount by which the frames on odd pages should be shifted vertically
even horizontal
The amount by which the frames on even pages should be shifted horizontally
even vertical
The amount by which the frames on even pages should be shifted vertically
Additional Information
Horizontal and vertical shift amounts can be specified for frames appearing on right and left pages and odd and even pages. If, for example, shift amounts are given for right or left pages and odd or even pages, these amounts will be added together and the frame shifted by the combined amount. Negative shift values will shift the frame upwards and to the left and positive values will shift the frame down and to the right.
 
The frame shift function does not work if the frame has copyfit or frame tie options defined and the update real values indicator set.
